Description

Gloria MundiInner Proof Cigar Label by the
American Lithographic Co., Copyright 1898. An eleven-color
lithographed 10" x 7" inner proof label rife with patriotic
symbolism. The central image is of lady Columbia and her British
counterpart Britannia seated in the unique vestments and surrounded
by the symbols of their various countries. At their feet the
American eagle and British lion act as guards. In the background
can be seen an American and British battleship. A beautifully
colorful image with superb imagery from this rather jingoistic
period in history. This label derives its name from the Latin
phrase "Sic transit gloria mundi" or "Thus passes the glory
of the world". This label has been encapsulated and graded VF 6 by
GCLGS. From the Richard Revolinski Collection.
